INDENTURE

This INDENTURE, dated as of July 29, 2015, is among DIAMOND RESORTS OWNER TRUST 2015-1, a statutory trust organized under the laws of the State of Delaware, as issuer (the “Issuer”), Diamond Resorts Financial Services, Inc. (“DRFS”), a Nevada corporation, as servicer (the “Servicer”) and Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association, a national banking association, as indenture trustee (in such capacity, the “Indenture Trustee”) and as back-up servicer (in such capacity, the “Back-Up Servicer”).

RECITALS OF THE ISSUER

WHEREAS, the Issuer has duly authorized the execution and delivery of this Indenture to provide for the issuance of its $158,490,000 2.73% Timeshare Loan-Backed Notes, Series 2015-1, Class A (the “Class A Notes”) and its $11,510,000 3.17% Timeshare Loan-Backed Notes, Series 2015-1, Class B (the “Class B Notes” and together with the Class A Notes, the “Notes”);

WHEREAS, all things necessary to make the Notes, when executed by the Issuer and authenticated and delivered by the Indenture Trustee hereunder, the valid obligations of the Issuer, and to make this Indenture a valid agreement of the Issuer, in accordance with its terms, have been done.

NOW, THEREFORE, THIS INDENTURE WITNESSETH:

For and in consideration of the premises and the purchase of the Notes by the holders thereof, it is mutually covenanted and agreed, for the benefit of the Noteholders, as follows:

GRANTING CLAUSE

To secure the payment of the principal of and interest on the Notes in accordance with their terms, the payment of all of the sums payable under this Indenture and the performance of the covenants contained in this Indenture, the Issuer hereby Grants to the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Noteholders, all of the Issuer’s right, title and interest in and to the following whether now owned or hereafter acquired and any and all benefits accruing to the Issuer from, (i) the Initial Timeshare Loans, (ii) the Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans, if any, (iii) the Receivables in respect of the Timeshare Loans due on and after the related Cut-Off Date, (iv) the related Timeshare Loan Files, (v) all Related Security in respect of each Timeshare Loan, (vi) all rights and remedies under the Sale Agreement, (vii) all rights and remedies under the Custodial Agreement, (viii) all rights and remedies under the Servicer Undertaking Agreement and the Seller Undertaking Agreement, (ix) all amounts in or to be deposited into each Trust Account, and (x) proceeds of the foregoing (including, without limitation, all cash proceeds, accounts, accounts receivable, notes, drafts, acceptances, chattel paper, checks, deposit accounts, Insurance Proceeds, condemnation awards, rights to payment of any and every kind, and other forms of obligations and receivables which at any time constitute all or part or are included in the proceeds of any of the foregoing) (collectively, the “Trust Estate”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trust Estate shall not include any Miscellaneous Payments and Processing Charges made by an Obligor.

Such Grant is made in trust to secure (i) the payment of all amounts due on the Notes in accordance with their terms, equally and ratably except as otherwise may be provided in this Indenture, without prejudice, priority, or distinction between any Note of the same Class and any other Note of the same Class by reason of differences in time of issuance or otherwise, and (ii) the payment of all other sums payable under the Notes and this Indenture.

The Indenture Trustee acknowledges such Xxxxx, accepts the trusts hereunder in accordance with the provisions hereof, and agrees to perform the duties herein required to the best of its ability and to the end that the interests of the Noteholders may be adequately and effectively protected as hereinafter provided.

ARTICLE I

DEFINITIONS AND OTHER PROVISIONS
OF GENERAL APPLICATION

Section 1.01 General Definitions.

In addition to the terms defined elsewhere in this Indenture, capitalized terms shall have the meanings given them in the “Standard Definitions” attached hereto as Annex A.

Section 1.02 Compliance Certificates and Opinions.

Upon any written application or request (or oral application with prompt written or electronic confirmation) by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee to take any action under any provision of this Indenture, other than any request that (a) the Indenture Trustee authenticate the Notes specified in such request, (b) the Indenture Trustee invest moneys in any of the Trust Accounts pursuant to the written directions specified in such request, or (c) the Indenture Trustee pay moneys due and payable to the Issuer hereunder to the Issuer’s assignee specified in such request, the Indenture Trustee shall require the Issuer to furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate (executed by the Administrator on behalf of the Issuer) stating that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Indenture relating to the proposed action have been complied with and that the request otherwise is in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, and an Opinion of Counsel stating that in the opinion of such counsel all such conditions precedent, if any, have been complied with, except that, in the case of any such requested action as to which other evidence of satisfaction of the conditions precedent thereto is specifically required by any provision of this Indenture, no additional certificate or opinion need be furnished.

Section 1.03 Form of Documents Delivered to Indenture Trustee.

In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.

Any certificate or opinion of an officer of the Issuer delivered to the Indenture Trustee may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon an Opinion of Counsel, unless such officer knows that such Opinion of Counsel with respect to the matters upon which his certificate or opinion is based is erroneous. Any such officer’s certificate or opinion and any Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an officer or officers of the Issuer as to such factual matters unless such officer or counsel knows that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous. Any Opinion of Counsel may be based on the written opinion of other counsel, in which event such Opinion of Counsel shall be accompanied by a copy of such other counsel’s opinion and shall include a statement to the effect that such counsel believes that such counsel and the Indenture Trustee may reasonably rely upon the opinion of such other counsel.

Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument.

Wherever in this Indenture, in connection with any application or certificate or report to the Indenture Trustee, it is provided that the Issuer shall deliver any document as a condition of the granting of such application, or as evidence of compliance with any term hereof, it is intended that the truth and accuracy, at the time of the granting of such application or at the effective date of such certificate or report (as the case may be), of the facts and opinions stated in such document shall in such case be conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer to have such application granted or to the sufficiency of such certificate or report. The foregoing shall not, however, be construed to affect the Indenture Trustee’s right to rely upon the truth and accuracy of any statement or opinion contained in any such document as provided in Section 7.01(b) hereof.

Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the absence of the occurrence and continuation of a Default, Event of Default, Servicer Event of Default or a Rapid Amortization Period is a condition precedent to the taking of any action by the Indenture Trustee at the request or direction of the Issuer, then, notwithstanding that the satisfaction of such condition is a condition precedent to the Issuer’s right to make such request or direction, the Indenture Trustee shall be protected in acting in accordance with such request or direction if it does not have knowledge of the occurrence and continuation of such event. For all purposes of this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default, Event of Default, Servicer Event of Default or a Rapid Amortization Period nor shall the Indenture Trustee have any duty to monitor or investigate to determine whether a Default, an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default of the kind described in Section 6.01(a) hereof), a Servicer Event of Default or a Rapid Amortization Period has occurred unless a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee shall have actual knowledge thereof or shall have been notified in writing thereof by the Issuer, the Servicer or any Noteholder.

Section 1.04 Acts of Noteholders, etc.

(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Noteholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Noteholders in

person or by agents duly appointed in writing, including, but not limited to trust agents and administrative agents; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Indenture Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Issuer. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Noteholders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 7.01 hereof) conclusive in favor of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Section 1.04.

(b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him or her the execution thereof. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his or her individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his or her authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Indenture Trustee deems sufficient.

(c) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the holder of any Note shall bind every future holder of the same Note and the holder of every Note issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Note.

(d) By accepting the Notes issued pursuant to this Indenture, each Noteholder irrevocably appoints the Indenture Trustee hereunder as the special attorney‑in‑fact for such Noteholder vested with full power on behalf of such Noteholder to effect and enforce the rights of such Noteholder for the benefit of such Noteholder; provided that nothing contained in this Section 1.04(d) shall be deemed to confer upon the Indenture Trustee any duty or power to vote on behalf of the Noteholders with respect to any matter on which the Noteholders have a right to vote pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.

Section 1.05 Notice to Noteholders; Waiver.

(a) Where this Indenture provides for notice to Noteholders of any event, or the mailing of any report to Noteholders, such notice or report shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, certified mail return receipt requested, or sent by private courier or by confirmable electronic means to each Noteholder affected by such event or to whom such report is required to be mailed, at its address as it appears in the Note Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice or the mailing of such report. In any case where a notice or report to Noteholders is mailed, neither the failure to mail such notice or report, nor any defect in any notice or report so mailed, to any particular Noteholder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice or report with respect to other Noteholders. Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such

waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Noteholders shall be filed with the Indenture Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

(b) In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to mail or send notice to Noteholders, in accordance with Section 1.05(a) hereof, of any event or any report to Noteholders when such notice or report is required to be delivered pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then such notification or delivery as shall be made with the approval of the Indenture Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder.

Section 1.06 Effect of Headings and Table of Contents.

The Article and Section headings herein and in the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

Section 1.07 Successors and Assigns.

All covenants and agreements in this Indenture by each of the parties hereto shall bind its respective successors and permitted assigns, whether so expressed or not.

Section 1.08 GOVERNING LAW.

THIS INDENTURE AND THE NOTES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. UNLESS MADE APPLICABLE IN A SUPPLEMENT HERETO, THIS INDENTURE IS NOT SUBJECT TO THE TRUST INDENTURE ACT OF 1939, AS AMENDED, AND SHALL NOT BE GOVERNED THEREBY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE THEREWITH.

Section 1.09 Legal Holidays.

In any case where any Payment Date or the Stated Maturity or any other date on which principal of or interest on any Note is proposed to be paid shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or of the Notes) such payment need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such Payment Date, Stated Maturity, or other date on which principal of or interest on any Note is proposed to be paid, provided that no penalty interest shall accrue for the period from and after such Payment Date, Stated Maturity, or any other date on which principal of or interest on any Note is proposed to be paid, as the case may be, until such next succeeding Business Day.

Section 1.10 Execution in Counterparts.

This Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Indenture by facsimile

or other electronic transmission (i.e., “pdf” or “tif”) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof and deemed an original.

Section 1.11 Inspection.

The Issuer agrees that, on reasonable prior notice, it will permit the representatives of the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder holding Notes evidencing at least 25% of the Aggregate Outstanding Note Balance, during the Issuer’s normal business hours, to examine all of the books of account, records, reports and other papers of the Issuer, to make copies thereof and extracts therefrom, and to discuss its affairs, finances and accounts with its designated officers, employees and independent accountants in the presence of such designated officers and employees (and by this provision the Issuer hereby authorizes its accountants to discuss with such representatives such affairs, finances and accounts), all at such reasonable times and as often as may be reasonably requested for the purpose of reviewing or evaluating the financial condition or affairs of the Issuer or the performance of and compliance with the covenants and undertakings of the Issuer and the Servicer in this Indenture or any of the other documents referred to herein or therein. Any expense incident to the exercise by the Indenture Trustee at any time or any Noteholder during the continuance of any Default, Event of Default or Rapid Amortization Period, of any right under this Section 1.11 shall be borne by the Issuer. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as a duty of the Indenture Trustee to perform such inspection.

Section 1.12 Survival of Representations and Warranties.

The representations, warranties and certifications of the Issuer made in this Indenture or in any certificate or other writing delivered by the Issuer pursuant hereto shall survive the authentication and delivery of the Notes hereunder.

ARTICLE II

THE NOTES

Section 2.01 General Provisions.

(a) Form of Notes. The Notes, together with their certificates of authentication shall be in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto, with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or are permitted by this Indenture, and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon, as may consistently herewith be determined by the officer executing such Notes, as evidenced by such officer’s execution of such Notes.

(b) Denominations. The Outstanding Note Balance of the Class A Notes and the Class B Notes which may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture is limited to $158,490,000 and $11,510,000, respectively. The Notes shall be issuable only as registered Notes without interest coupons in denominations of at least $100,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not restrict or prevent the transfer in accordance with Section 2.04 hereof of any Note with a remaining Outstanding Note Balance of less than $100,000.

(c) Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating. The Notes shall be manually executed on behalf of the Issuer by an Authorized Officer of the Owner Trustee. Any Note bearing the signature of an individual who was at the time of execution thereof an Authorized Officer of the Owner Trustee shall bind the Issuer, notwithstanding that such individual ceases to hold such office prior to the authentication and delivery of such Note or did not hold such office at the date of such Note. No Note shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Note a certificate of authentication substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto, executed by the Indenture Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate upon any Note shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Note has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The Notes may from time to time be executed by the Issuer and delivered to the Indenture Trustee for authentication together with an Issuer Order to the Indenture Trustee directing the authentication and delivery of such Notes and thereupon the same shall be authenticated and delivered by the Indenture Trustee in accordance with such Issuer Order.

Section 2.02 Global Notes. Each of the Notes, upon original issuance, shall be issued in the form of one or more book-entry global certificates (the “Global Notes” and each, a “Global Note”) to be deposited with the Indenture Trustee, as custodian for The Depository Trust Company, the initial Depository, by or on behalf of the Issuer. The Notes sold to non-U.S. persons (as defined in Regulation S) in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S will be represented by one or more temporary Global Notes (each, a “Temporary Regulation S Global Notes”). Upon the expiration of the Restricted Period, interests in a Temporary Regulation S Global Note will be exchangeable for interests in permanent Global Notes of the same Class (together with a Temporary Regulation S Global Note, a “Regulation S Global Note”). The Notes sold to U.S. Persons which are Qualified Institutional Buyers will be represented by one or more temporary Global Notes (each, a “Rule 144A Global Note”). All Global Notes shall be initially registered on the Note Register in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of The Depository Trust Company, and no Note Owner will receive a definitive note (a “Definitive Note”) representing such Note Owner’s interest in the related Class of Notes, except as provided in Section 2.03 hereof. Unless and until Definitive Notes have been issued in respect of a Class of Notes pursuant to Section 2.03 hereof:

(a) the provisions of this Section 2.02 shall be in full force and effect with respect to such Class of Notes;

(b) the Issuer, the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee may deal with the Depository and the Depository Participants for all purposes with respect to such Notes (including the making of distributions on such Notes) as the authorized representatives of the respective Note Owners;

(c) to the extent that the provisions of this Section 2.02 conflict with any other provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Section 2.02 shall control; and

(d) the rights of the respective Note Owners of a Class of Notes shall be exercised only through the Depository and the Depository Participants and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between the respective Note Owners and the Depository and/or the Depository Participants. Pursuant to the Depository Agreement, unless and until Definitive Notes are issued in respect of the Notes pursuant to Section 2.03 hereof, the Depository will make book-

entry transfers among the Depository Participants and receive and transmit distributions of principal of and interest on the Notes to the Depository Participants.

Section 2.03 Definitive Notes. If (a) the Depository advises the Indenture Trustee in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities as Depository with respect to the Global Notes and the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer is unable to locate a qualified successor or (b) after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Note Owners (other than DRII or an Affiliate thereof) evidencing not less than 51% of the Outstanding Note Balance of a Class of Global Notes, advise the Indenture Trustee and the Depository through the Depository Participants in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system with respect to such Class of Global Notes through the Depository is no longer in the best interest of such Note Owners, the Indenture Trustee shall use its best efforts to notify all affected Note Owners through the Depository of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive Notes to such Note Owners. Neither the Issuer nor the Indenture Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Notes, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar and the Servicer shall recognize holders of Definitive Notes as Noteholders hereunder. Upon the issuance of Definitive Notes, all references herein to obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the Depository shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed by the Indenture Trustee, to the extent applicable with respect to such Definitive Notes.

Section 2.04 Registration, Transfer and Exchange of Notes.

(a) Note Register. At all times during the term of this Indenture, the Issuer shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office a register (the “Note Register”) for the registration, transfer and exchange of Notes. The Indenture Trustee is hereby appointed “Note Registrar” for purposes of registering Notes and transfers of Notes as herein provided. The names and addresses of all Noteholders and the names and addresses of the transferees of any Notes shall be registered in the Note Register; provided, however, in no event shall the Note Registrar be required to maintain in the Note Register the names of the individual participants holding Notes through the Depository. The Person in whose name any Note is so registered shall be deemed and treated as the sole owner and Noteholder thereof for all purposes of this Indenture and the Note Registrar, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer and any agent of any of them shall not be affected by any notice or knowledge to the contrary. A Definitive Note is transferable or exchangeable only upon the surrender of such Note to the Note Registrar at the Corporate Trust Office together with an assignment and transfer (executed by the Holder or his duly authorized attorney), subject to the applicable requirements of this Section 2.04. Upon request of the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar shall provide the Indenture Trustee with the names and addresses of the Noteholders.

(b) Surrender. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Definitive Note, subject to the applicable requirements of this Section 2.04, the Issuer shall execute and the Indenture Trustee shall duly authenticate in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes in denominations of a like aggregate denomination as the Definitive Note being surrendered. Each Note surrendered for registration of transfer shall be canceled and subsequently destroyed by the Note Registrar. Each new Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.04 shall be

registered in the name of any Person as the transferring Holder may request, subject to the applicable provisions of this Section 2.04. All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

(c) Securities Laws Restrictions. The issuance of the Notes will not be registered or qualified under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state. No resale or transfer of any Note or any interest therein may be made unless such resale or transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and an effective registration or a qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction that does not require such registration or qualification because such transfer satisfies one of the following: (i) such resale or transfer is in compliance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act, to a person who the transferor reasonably believes is a Qualified Institutional Buyer (as defined in Rule 144A) that is purchasing for its own account or for the account of a Qualified Institutional Buyer and to whom notice is given that such resale or transfer is being made in reliance upon Rule 144A under the Securities Act as certified by such transferee (other than the Initial Purchaser and its initial transferees) in a letter in the form of Exhibit B hereto; (ii) such resale or transfer is in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act as certified by such transferee (other than the Initial Purchaser and its initial transferees) in a letter in the form of Exhibit B hereto; or (iii) after the appropriate holding period, such resale or transfer is pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act, in each case in accordance with any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States and any other applicable jurisdiction. None of the Issuer, the Servicer or the Indenture Trustee is obligated to register or qualify the Notes under the Securities Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under this Indenture to permit the transfer of any Note without registration.

(d) Global Notes Restrictions. In addition to the applicable provisions of this Section 2.04 and the rules of the Depository, the exchange, transfer and registration of transfer of Global Notes or interests therein shall only be made in accordance with this Section 2.04(d).

Any such Noteholder desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer and the Note Registrar against any loss, liability or expense that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

(e) Every replacement Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.05 in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

(f) The provisions of this Section 2.05 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.

(b) All reductions in the principal amount of a Note effected by payments of installments of principal made on any Payment Date shall be binding upon all Holders of such Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, whether or not such payment is noted on such Note. All payments on the Notes shall be paid without any requirement of presentment, except that each Holder of any Note shall be deemed to agree, by its acceptance of the same, to surrender such Note at the Corporate Trust Office prior to receipt of payment of the final installment of principal of such Note.

(a) On or before the Closing Date, the Indenture Trustee shall establish in the name of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders as provided in this Indenture, the Trust Accounts, which accounts shall be Eligible Bank Accounts maintained at the Corporate Trust Office.

All such amounts and all investments made with such amounts, including all income and other gain from such investments, shall be held by the Indenture Trustee in such accounts as part of the Trust Estate as herein provided, subject to withdrawal by the Indenture Trustee in accordance with, and for the purposes specified in the provisions of, this Indenture.

(b) The Indenture Trustee shall assume that any amount remitted to it in respect of the Trust Estate is to be deposited into the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.02(a) hereof.

(c) None of the parties hereto shall have any right of set-off with respect to any Trust Account, or any investment therein.

(d) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all or a portion of the amounts in any Trust Account shall be invested and reinvested by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to an Issuer Order in one or more Eligible Investments. Subject to the restrictions

on the maturity of investments set forth in Section 3.01(f) hereof, each such Issuer Order may authorize the Indenture Trustee to make the specific Eligible Investments set forth therein, to make Eligible Investments from time to time consistent with the general instructions set forth therein, or to make specific Eligible Investments pursuant to instructions received in writing (including by confirmable electronic means) from the employees or agents of the Issuer, as the case may be, identified therein, in each case in such amounts as such Issuer Order shall specify.

(e) In the event that either (i) the Issuer shall have failed to give investment directions to the Indenture Trustee by 9:30 A.M., New York City time, on any Business Day on which there may be uninvested cash in any of the Trust Accounts or (ii) an Event of Default shall be continuing, the Indenture Trustee shall promptly invest and reinvest the funds then in the designated Trust Account to the fullest extent practicable in Xxxxx Fargo Advantage Funds Heritage Money Market Fund (or successor money market funds thereto). All investments made by the Indenture Trustee shall mature no later than the maturity date therefor permitted by Section 3.01(f) hereof.

(f) No investment of any amount held in any Trust Account shall mature later than the Business Day immediately preceding the Payment Date which is scheduled to occur immediately following the date of investment. All income or other gains (net of losses) from the investment of moneys deposited in any Trust Account shall be deposited by the Indenture Trustee in such account immediately upon receipt.

(g) Any investment of any funds in any Trust Account and any sale of any investment held in such accounts, shall be made under the following terms and conditions:

(iii) the proceeds of any sale of an investment shall be remitted by the purchaser thereof directly to the Indenture Trustee for deposit in the account in which such investment was held; provided that no such sale may occur on any day other than the Business Day immediately preceding a Payment Date (for the avoidance of doubt, any full or partial liquidation of an investment in a money market fund is not subject to the foregoing date restriction); and

(iv) neither the Issuer nor any of its Affiliates may exercise any voting rights with respect to an investment.

(h) If any amounts are needed for disbursement from any Trust Account and sufficient uninvested funds are not collected and available therein to make such disbursement, in the absence of an Issuer Order for the liquidation of investments held therein in an amount sufficient

to provide the required funds, the Indenture Trustee shall select and cause to be sold or otherwise converted to cash a sufficient amount of the investments in such account.

(i) The Indenture Trustee shall not in any way be held liable by reason of any insufficiency in any Trust Account resulting from losses on investments made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.01 including, but not limited to, losses resulting from the sale or depreciation in the market value of such investments (but the institution serving as Indenture Trustee shall at all times remain liable for its own obligations, if any, constituting part of such investments). The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any investment made by it in accordance with this Section 3.01 on the grounds that it could have made a more favorable investment or a more favorable selection for sale of an investment.

The Indenture Trustee shall be the “entitlement holder” within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(7) of the UCC with respect to the Trust Accounts.

Each item of property (whether investment property, financial asset, security, instrument or cash) credited to each Trust Account shall be treated as a “financial asset” within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(9) of the UCC. All securities or other property underlying any financial assets credited to each Trust Account shall be registered in the name of the Indenture Trustee or indorsed to the Indenture Trustee or in blank and in no case will any financial asset credited to any Trust Account be registered in the name of the Issuer, payable to the order of the Issuer or specially indorsed to the Issuer. The Trust Accounts shall be under the sole dominion and control (as defined in Section 8-106 of the UCC) of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer shall have no right to close, make withdrawals from, or give disbursement directions with respect to, or receive distributions from, the Collection Account except in accordance with Section 3.04 hereof.

(k) In the event that Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association, as securities intermediary, has or subsequently obtains by agreement, by operation of law or otherwise a security interest in the Trust Accounts or any security entitlement credited thereto, it hereby agrees that such security interest shall be subordinate to the security interest created by this Indenture and that the Indenture Trustee’s rights to the funds on deposit therein shall be subject to Section 3.04 hereof. The financial assets credited to, and other items deposited to the Trust Accounts will not be subject to deduction, set-off, banker’s lien, or any other right in favor of any Person other than as created pursuant to this Indenture.

(l) If at any time a Trust Account shall cease to be an Eligible Bank Account, the Indenture Trustee shall, within 30 days, establish a new Trust Account that is an Eligible Bank

Account. The 30-day period may be extended an additional 30 days if the Indenture Trustee provides to the Rating Agencies an action plan prior to expiration of the entire 30-day period.

The Collection Account shall be an Eligible Bank Account initially established at the Corporate Trust Office of the Indenture Trustee, bearing the following designation “Diamond Resorts Owner Trust 2015-1 -- Collection Account, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association, as Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders”.

The Indenture Trustee agrees to immediately deposit any amounts received by it into the Collection Account. Amounts on deposit in the Collection Account shall be invested in accordance with Section 3.01 hereof. Withdrawals and payments from the Collection Account will be made on each Payment Date as provided in Section 3.04 hereof.

Upon such resignation, the Servicer shall comply with Section 5.16(f) hereof.

Section 5.11 Fees and Expenses.

Nothing in this Section 5.12 shall affect the obligation of the Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Obligors, and the failure of the Servicer to provide access to information as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section 5.12.

Section 5.13 No Offset.

Prior to the termination of this Indenture, the obligations of the Servicer under this Indenture shall not be subject to any defense, counterclaim or right of offset which the Servicer has or may have against the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder, whether in respect of this Indenture, any Timeshare Loan or otherwise.

The Back-Up Servicer shall have no obligations as to the Collection Reports other than to insure that they are able to be opened and read (which it shall determine promptly upon receipt). The Servicer shall give prompt written notice to the Indenture Trustee, the Back-Up Servicer and the Initial Purchaser of any modifications in the Servicer’s servicing systems.

The Servicer agrees that it shall promptly (and in any event no later than five Business Days subsequent to its receipt of the notice of termination) provide the Successor Servicer (with costs being borne by the Servicer) with all documents and records (including, without limitation, those in electronic form) reasonably requested by it to enable the Successor Servicer to assume the Servicer’s duties and obligations hereunder, and shall cooperate with the Successor Servicer in effecting the assumption by the Successor Servicer of the Servicer’s obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer within two Business Days to the Successor Servicer for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time or thereafter received by it with respect to the Timeshare Loans (provided, however, that the Servicer shall continue to be entitled to receive all amounts accrued or owing to it under this Indenture on or prior to the date of such termination). If the Servicer fails to undertake such action as is reasonably

necessary to effectuate such transfer of its duties and obligations, the Indenture Trustee, or the Successor Servicer if so directed by the Indenture Trustee, is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of and at the expense of the Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things reasonably necessary to effect the purposes of such notice of termination.

Section 6.02 Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

(a) If an Event of Default of the kind specified in Section 6.01(e) or Section 6.01(f) hereof occurs, each Class of Notes shall automatically become due and payable at the sum of its Outstanding Note Balance and unreimbursed Note Balance Write-Down Amounts, if any, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default of the kind described in the preceding sentence) is related to the failure to pay interest or principal in respect of a Class of Notes, the Indenture Trustee shall, upon notice from Holders (other than DRII or an affiliate thereof) representing at least 66-2/3% of the Outstanding Note Balance of the most senior Class of Notes then Outstanding (plus, if the payment of interest and principal on the most senior Class of Notes is current, the consent of holders (other than DRII or an affiliate thereof) representing at least a majority of the Outstanding Note Balance of each Class of Notes which has failed to receive one or more payments of interest or principal), declare each Class of Notes to be immediately due and payable at the sum of its Outstanding Note Balance and unreimbursed Note Balance Write-Down Amounts, if any, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in the preceding two sentences) shall occur and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee shall, upon notice from Holders representing at least 66-2/3% of the then Outstanding Note Balance of each Class of Notes, declare each Class of Notes to be immediately due and payable at the sum of its Outstanding Note Balance and unreimbursed Note Balance Write-Down Amounts, if any, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon. Upon any such declaration or automatic acceleration, the sum of the Outstanding Note Balance and unreimbursed Note Balance Write-Down Amounts, if any, of the applicable Class or Classes of Notes together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall become immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Issuer. The Indenture Trustee shall promptly send a notice of any declaration or automatic acceleration to the Rating Agencies.

(b) At any time after such a declaration of acceleration has been made, or after such acceleration has automatically become effective and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Indenture Trustee as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Holders (other than DRII or an Affiliate thereof) representing at least 66-2/3% of the then Outstanding Note Balance of each Class of Notes by written notice to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:

(i) The amounts on deposit in the Trust Accounts and other funds from collections with respect to the Timeshare Loans in the possession of the Servicer but not yet deposited in the Trust Accounts, is a sum sufficient to pay:

(A) all principal due on each Class of Notes which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and interest thereon

from the date when the same first became due until the date of payment or deposit at the applicable Note Rate,

(B) all interest due with respect to each Class of Notes and, to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue interest from the date when the same first became due until the date of payment or deposit at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Note Rate, and

(C) all sums paid or advanced by the Indenture Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements, and advances of each of the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer, its agents and counsel;

and

(ii) all Events of Default with respect to the Notes, other than the non‑payment of the Outstanding Note Balance of each Class of Notes which became due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 6.13 hereof.

(d) An automatic acceleration of the Notes may be rescinded by holders (other than DRII or an Affiliate thereof) representing a majority of the then Aggregate Outstanding Note Balance.

Section 6.03 Remedies.

(a) If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes occurs and is continuing of which a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee has actual knowledge, the Indenture Trustee shall immediately give notice to each Noteholder as set forth in Section 7.02 hereof and shall solicit such Noteholders for advice. The Indenture Trustee shall then take such action as so directed by the Holders representing at least 66-2/3% of the then Outstanding Note Balance of each Class of Notes subject to the provisions of this Indenture.

(b) Following any acceleration of the Notes, the Indenture Trustee shall have all of the rights, powers and remedies with respect to the Trust Estate as are available to secured parties under the UCC or other applicable law, subject to Section 6.03(d) hereof. Such rights, powers and remedies may be exercised by the Indenture Trustee in its own name as trustee of an express trust.

(c) If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a) hereof occurs and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Issuer for the Aggregate Outstanding Note Balance and interest remaining unpaid with respect to the Notes.

(d) If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee may in its discretion, and at the instruction of the Holders representing at least 66-2/3% of the then Outstanding Note Balance of each Class of Notes shall proceed to protect and enforce its rights and

the rights of the Noteholders by such appropriate judicial or other proceedings as the Indenture Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy. The Indenture Trustee shall notify the Issuer, the Rating Agencies, the Servicer and the Noteholders of any such action.

(e) If (i) the Indenture Trustee shall have received instructions within 45 days from the date notice pursuant to Section 6.03(a) hereof is first given from Holders representing at least 66-2/3% of the then Outstanding Note Balance of each Class of Notes to the effect that such Persons approve of or request the liquidation of the Timeshare Loans or (ii) upon an Event of Default set forth in Section 6.01(e) or (f) hereof, the Indenture Trustee shall to the extent lawful, promptly sell, dispose of or otherwise liquidate the Timeshare Loans in a commercially reasonable manner and on commercially reasonable terms, which shall include the solicitation of competitive bids; provided, however, that, upon an Event of Default set forth in Section 6.01(e) or (f) hereof, Holders representing at least 51% of the then Outstanding Note Balance of each Class of Notes may notify the Indenture Trustee that such liquidation shall not occur. The Indenture Trustee may obtain a prior determination from any conservator, receiver or liquidator of the Issuer that the terms and manner of any proposed sale, disposition or liquidation are commercially reasonable.

Section 6.04 Indenture Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. (a) In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Issuer, or the property of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Notes shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Indenture Trustee shall have made any demand on the Issuer for the payment of overdue principal or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Notes and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Indenture Trustee and any predecessor Indenture Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee and any predecessor Indenture Trustee, their agents and counsel) and of the Noteholders allowed in such judicial proceeding;

(ii) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and

(iii) to participate as a member, voting or otherwise, of any official committee of creditors appointed in such matter;

and any custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Noteholder to make such payments to the Indenture Trustee and to pay to the Indenture Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee and any predecessor

Indenture Trustee, their agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Indenture Trustee and any predecessor Indenture Trustee under Section 7.06 hereof.

(b) Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Indenture Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Noteholder any plan of reorganization, agreement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Noteholder thereof or affecting the Timeshare Loans or the other assets constituting the Trust Estate or to authorize the Indenture Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Noteholder in any such proceeding.

Section 6.05 Indenture Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Notes.

All rights of action and claims under this Indenture, the Notes, the Timeshare Loans or the other assets constituting the Trust Estate may be prosecuted and enforced by the Indenture Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Indenture Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provisions for the payment of reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee and any predecessor Indenture Trustee, their agents and counsel, be for the benefit of the Noteholders in respect of which such judgment has been recovered, and pursuant to the priorities contemplated by Section 3.04 hereof.

Section 6.06 Application of Money Collected.

If the Notes have been declared, have automatically become or otherwise become due and payable following an Event of Default (an “Acceleration Event”) and such Acceleration Event has not been rescinded or annulled, any money collected by the Indenture Trustee in respect of the Trust Estate and any other money that may be held thereafter by the Indenture Trustee as security for the Notes, including without limitation the amounts on deposit in the Reserve Account, shall be applied in the following order on each Payment Date:


(i)	to the Indenture Trustee and the Custodian, ratably based on their respective entitlements, any unpaid Indenture Trustee Fees, Indenture Trustee Expenses, Custodial Fees or Custodial Expenses incurred and charged as of such date;

(vi)	to the Class A Noteholders, the Interest Distribution Amount for the Class A Notes and for such Payment Date;

(viii)	to the Class B Noteholders, the Interest Distribution Amount for the Class B Notes and for such Payment Date;


(ix)	to the Class B Noteholders, all remaining amounts until the Outstanding Note Balance of the Class B Notes is reduced to zero and all Note Balance Write-Down Amounts applied to the Class B Notes have been reimbursed plus the Deferred Interest Amount for such Class B Notes; and


(viii)	to the Owner or any subsequent owners of the beneficial interests in the Issuer, any remaining amounts.

Section 6.07 Limitation on Suits.

No Noteholder, solely by virtue of its status as Noteholder, shall have any right by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Indenture, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing and the Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 25% of the then Outstanding Note Balance of each Class of Notes shall have made written request upon the Indenture Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Indenture Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Indenture Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the cost, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Indenture Trustee, for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding and no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given such Indenture Trustee during such 60-day period by such Noteholders; it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by each Noteholder with every other Noteholder and the Indenture Trustee, that no one or more Noteholders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the Holders of any other of such Notes, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder, or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the benefit of all Noteholders. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section 6.07, each and every Noteholder and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.

Section 6.08 Unconditional Right of Noteholders to Receive Principal and Interest; Non-Recourse.

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, other than the provisions hereof limiting the right to recover amounts due on the Notes to recoveries from the property comprising the Trust Estate, the Holder of any Note shall have the absolute and unconditional right to receive payment of the principal of and interest on such Note as such payments of principal and interest become due, including on the Stated Maturity, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Noteholder. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture to the contrary, the obligation to pay principal and interest on the Notes or any other amount payable to any Noteholder will be without recourse to the Seller, the Servicer, the Back-Up Servicer, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee or any Affiliate (other than the Issuer), officer employee or director of any of them, and the obligation of the Issuer to pay principal of or interest on the Notes or any other amount payable to any Noteholder will be subject to the allocation and payment provisions of this Indenture and limited to amounts available from the Trust Estate. Notwithstanding any other terms of this Indenture, the Notes, any Transaction Documents or otherwise, the obligations of the Issuer under the Notes, this Indenture and each other Transaction Document to which it is a party are limited recourse obligations of the Issuer, payable solely from the Trust Estate, and following realization of the Trust Estate and application of the proceeds thereof in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, none of the Noteholders, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee or any of the other parties to the Transaction Documents shall be entitled to take any further steps to recover any sums due but still unpaid hereunder or thereunder, all claims in respect of which shall be extinguished and shall not thereafter revive. It is understood that the foregoing provisions of this paragraph shall not (i) prevent recourse to the Trust Estate for sums due or to become due under any security, instrument or agreement which is part of the Trust Estate, (ii) save as specifically provided therein, constitute a waiver, release or discharge of any indebtedness or obligation evidenced by the Notes or secured by this Indenture. It is further understood that the foregoing provisions of this paragraph shall not limit the right of any Person, to name the Issuer as a party defendant in any proceeding or in the exercise of any other remedy under the Notes or this Indenture, so long as no judgment in the nature of a deficiency judgment or seeking personal liability shall be asked for or (if obtained) enforced against the Issuer.

Section 6.09 Restoration of Rights and Remedies.

If the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Indenture Trustee or to such Noteholder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

Section 6.10 Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost, or stolen Notes in Section 2.05(f) hereof, no right or remedy herein

conferred upon or reserved to the Indenture Trustee or to the Noteholders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

Section 6.11 Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

No delay or omission of the Indenture Trustee or of any Holder of any Note to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Indenture Trustee or to the Noteholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Indenture Trustee or by the Noteholders, as the case may be.

Section 6.12 Control by Noteholders.

Except as may otherwise be provided in this Indenture, until such time as the conditions specified in Sections 11.01(a)(i) and (ii) hereof have been satisfied in full, the Holders representing at least 66‑2/3% of the then Outstanding Note Balance of the most senior Class of Notes shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Indenture Trustee, with respect to the Notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing:

(i) no such direction shall be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture;

(ii) the Indenture Trustee shall not be required to follow any such direction which the Indenture Trustee reasonably believes might result in any personal liability on the part of the Indenture Trustee for which the Indenture Trustee is not adequately indemnified; and

(iii) the Indenture Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Indenture Trustee which is not inconsistent with any such direction; provided that the Indenture Trustee shall give notice of any such action to each Noteholder.

Section 6.13 Waiver of Events of Default.

(a) The Holders representing at least 66‑2/3% of the then Outstanding Note Balance of each Class of Notes may, by one or more instruments in writing, waive any Event of Default on behalf of all Noteholders hereunder and its consequences, except a continuing Event of Default:

(i) in respect of the payment of the principal of or interest on any Note (which may only be waived by the Holder of such Note), or

(ii) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article 9 hereof cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note affected (which only may be waived by the Holders of all Outstanding Notes affected).

(b) A copy of each waiver pursuant to Section 6.13(a) hereof shall be furnished by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee and each Noteholder. Upon any such waiver, such Event of Default shall cease to exist and shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 6.14 Undertaking for Costs.

All parties to this Indenture agree (and each Holder of any Note by its acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed) that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Indenture Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Indenture Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section 6.14 shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Indenture Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Noteholder, or group of Noteholders representing at least 51% of the then Outstanding Note Balance of each Class of Notes, or to any suit instituted by any Noteholder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or interest on any Note on or after the maturities for such payments, including the Stated Maturity as applicable.

Section 6.15 Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws.

The Issuer covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Indenture Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

Section 6.16 Sale of Trust Estate.

(a) The power to effect any sale of any portion of the Trust Estate pursuant to Section 6.03 hereof shall not be exhausted by any one or more sales as to any portion of the Trust Estate remaining unsold, but shall continue unimpaired until the entire Trust Estate so allocated shall have been sold or all amounts payable on the Notes shall have been paid. The Indenture Trustee may from time to time, upon directions in accordance with Section 6.12 hereof, postpone any public sale by public announcement made at the time and place of such sale.

(b) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Indenture Trustee shall not sell to a third party the Trust Estate, or any portion thereof except as permitted under Section 6.03(e) hereof.

(i) any one or more Noteholders or the Owner may bid for and purchase the property offered for sale, and upon compliance with the terms of sale may hold, retain, and possess and dispose of such property, without further accountability, and any Noteholder may, in paying the purchase money therefor, deliver in lieu of cash any Outstanding Notes or claims for interest thereon for credit in the amount that shall, upon distribution of the net proceeds of such sale, be payable thereon, and the Notes, in case the amounts so payable thereon shall be less than the amount due thereon, shall be returned to the Noteholders after being appropriately stamped to show such partial payment; provided, however, that the Owner may irrevocably waive its option to bid for and purchase the property offered for sale by delivering a waiver letter to the Indenture Trustee;

(ii) the Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver an appropriate instrument of conveyance prepared by the Servicer transferring the Issuer’s interest without representation or warranty and without recourse in any portion of the Trust Estate in connection with a sale thereof;

(iii) the Indenture Trustee is hereby irrevocably appointed the agent and attorney‑in‑fact of the Issuer to transfer and convey the Issuer’s interest in any portion of the Trust Estate in connection with a sale thereof, and to take all action necessary to effect such sale;

(iv) no purchaser or transferee at such a sale shall be bound to ascertain the Indenture Trustee’s authority, inquire into the satisfaction of any conditions precedent or see to the application of any moneys; and

(v) The method, manner, time, place and terms of any sale of all or any portion of the Trust Estate shall be commercially reasonable.

ARTICLE VII

Section 7.01 Certain Duties. (a) The Indenture Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Indenture Trustee (including, without limitation, the duties referred to in Section 5.04 hereof during the continuance of a Servicer Event of Default, or a Servicer Event of Default resulting in the appointment of the Back-Up Servicer as Successor Servicer pursuant to Section 5.16 hereof).

(b) In the absence of bad faith on its part, the Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Indenture Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall be

under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture, provided however, the Indenture Trustee shall not be required to verify or recalculate the contents thereof.

(c) In case an Event of Default or a Servicer Event of Default (resulting in the appointment of the Back-Up Servicer as Successor Servicer) has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent Person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such Person’s own affairs; provided, however, that no provision in this Indenture shall be construed to limit the obligations of the Indenture Trustee to provide notices under Section 7.02 hereof.

(d) The Indenture Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Noteholders pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Noteholders shall have offered to the Indenture Trustee reasonable security or indemnity (which may be in the form of written assurances) against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.

(e) No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Indenture Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that:

(i) this Section 7.01(e) shall not be construed to limit the effect of Section 7.01(a) and (b) hereof;

(ii) the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer unless it shall be proved that the Indenture Trustee shall have been negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and

(f) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Indenture Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 7.01.

(g) The Indenture Trustee makes no representations or warranties with respect to the Timeshare Loans.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Indenture Trustee is not required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable

grounds to believe that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

Section 7.02 Notice of Events of Default and Rapid Amortization Period.

The Indenture Trustee shall promptly (but in any event within three Business Days) notify the Issuer, the Servicer, the Rating Agencies and the Noteholders upon a Responsible Officer obtaining actual knowledge of any event which constitutes an Event of Default or a Servicer Event of Default, or would trigger a Rapid Amortization Period or would constitute an Event of Default or a Servicer Event of Default but for the requirement that notice be given or time elapse or both, provided, further, that this Section 7.02 shall not limit the obligations of the Indenture Trustee to provide notices expressly required by this Indenture.

Section 7.03 Certain Matters Affecting the Indenture Trustee. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01 hereof:

(a) The Indenture Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon (and shall not be required to substantively review) any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;

(b) Any request or direction of any Noteholders, the Issuer, or the Servicer mentioned herein shall be in writing;

(c) Whenever in the performance of its duties hereunder the Indenture Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Indenture Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, rely upon an Officer’s Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel;

(b) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Indenture Trustee with respect to the Notes, the Issuer, the retiring Indenture Trustee and each successor Indenture Trustee with respect to the Notes shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto wherein each successor Indenture Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (i) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Indenture Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Indenture Trustee with respect to the Notes to which the appointment of such successor Indenture Trustee relates, (ii) if the retiring Indenture Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Notes, shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Indenture Trustee with respect to the Notes as to which the retiring Indenture Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Indenture Trustee, and (iii) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the Trust Estate hereunder by more than one Indenture Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Indenture Trustees co-trustees of the same allocated trust and that each such Indenture Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Indenture Trustee; and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture the resignation or removal of the retiring Indenture Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein and each such successor Indenture Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Indenture Trustee with respect to the Notes to which the appointment of such successor Indenture Trustee relates; but, on request of the Issuer or any successor Indenture Trustee, such retiring Indenture Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Indenture Trustee all property and money held

by such retiring Indenture Trustee hereunder with respect to the Notes of that or those to which the appointment of such successor Indenture Trustee relates.

Upon request of any such successor Indenture Trustee, the Issuer shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in the preceding paragraph.

(c) No successor Indenture Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 7.09 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Indenture Trustee shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 7.07 hereof.

(d) Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Indenture Trustee as provided in this Section 7.09, the Servicer shall mail notice of the succession of such Indenture Trustee hereunder to each Noteholder at its address as shown in the Note Register.

Section 7.11 Appointment of Co-Indenture Trustee or Separate Indenture Trustee. At any time or times for the purpose of meeting any legal requirement of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Estate may at the time be located or in which any action of the Indenture Trustee may be required to be performed or taken, the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer or the Holders representing at least 51% of the then Outstanding Note Balance of each Class of Notes, by an instrument in writing signed by it or them, may appoint, at the reasonable expense of the Issuer (as an Indenture Trustee Expense) and the Servicer, one or more individuals or corporations to act as separate trustee or separate trustees or co-trustee, acting jointly with the Indenture Trustee, of all or any part of the Trust Estate, to the full extent that local law makes it necessary for such separate trustee or separate trustees or co-trustee acting jointly with the Indenture Trustee to act. Notwithstanding the appointment of any separate or co-trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall remain obligated and liable for the obligations of the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture. The Indenture Trustee shall promptly send a notice of any such appointment to the Rating Agencies.

(b) The Indenture Trustee and, at the request of the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer shall execute, acknowledge and deliver all such instruments as may be required by the legal requirements of any jurisdiction or by any such separate trustee or separate trustees or co-trustee for the purpose of more fully confirming such title, rights, or duties to such separate trustee or

separate trustees or co-trustee. Upon the acceptance in writing of such appointment by any such separate trustee or separate trustees or co-trustee, it, he, she or they shall be vested with such title to the Trust Estate or any part thereof, and with such rights, powers, duties and obligations as shall be specified in the instrument of appointment, and such rights, powers, duties and obligations shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Indenture Trustee, or the Indenture Trustee and such separate trustee or separate trustees or co-trustees jointly with the Indenture Trustee subject to all the terms of this Indenture, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed the Indenture Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations shall be exercised and performed by such separate trustee or separate trustees or co-trustee, as the case may be. Any separate trustee or separate trustees or co-trustee may, at any time by an instrument in writing, constitute the Indenture Trustee its attorney-in-fact and agent with full power and authority to do all acts and things and to exercise all discretion on its behalf and in its name. In any case, if any such separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, the title to the Trust Estate and all assets, property, rights, power duties and obligations and duties of such separate trustee or co-trustee shall, so far as permitted by law, vest in and be exercised by the Indenture Trustee, without the appointment of a successor to such separate trustee or co-trustee unless and until a successor is appointed.

(c) All provisions of this Indenture which are for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee shall extend to and apply to each separate trustee or co-trustee appointed pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.11.

(d) Every additional trustee and separate trustee hereunder shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act and the Indenture Trustee shall act, subject to the following provisions and conditions: (i) all powers, duties and obligations and rights conferred upon the Indenture Trustee in respect of the receipt, custody, investment and payment of monies shall be exercised solely by the Indenture Trustee; (ii) all other rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Indenture Trustee shall be conferred or imposed and exercised or performed by the Indenture Trustee and such additional trustee or trustees and separate trustee or trustees jointly except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed, the Indenture Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the Timeshare Properties in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed by such additional trustee or trustees or separate trustee or trustees; (iii) no power hereby given to, or exercisable by, any such additional trustee or separate trustee shall be exercised hereunder by such trustee except jointly with, or with the consent of, the Indenture Trustee; and (iv) no trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder.

If at any time, the Indenture Trustee shall deem it no longer necessary or prudent in order to conform to such law, the Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to remove any additional trustee or separate trustee.

(e) Any request, approval or consent in writing by the Indenture Trustee to any additional trustee or separate trustee shall be sufficient warrant to such additional trustee or separate trustee, as the case may be, to take such action as may be so requested, approved or consented to.

(f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 7.11, the powers of any additional trustee or separate trustee shall not exceed those of the Indenture Trustee hereunder.

4. If the Purchaser is purchasing any Notes as a fiduciary or agent for one or more investor accounts, it has sole investment discretion with respect to each such account and has full power to make acknowledgments, representations and agreements contained herein on behalf of such account(s).

5. Reference is made to the Offering Circular, dated July 23, 2015 (the “Offering Circular”), related to the Notes.

(v) to the extent such purchase is made by or on behalf of an insurance company general account in which the reserves and liabilities for the general account contracts held by or on behalf of any plan, together with any other plans maintained by the same employer (or its affiliates) or employee organization, do not exceed 10% of the total reserves and liabilities of the insurance company general account (exclusive of separate account liabilities), plus surplus as set forth in the National Association of Insurance Commissioners Annual Statement filed with the state of domicile of the insurer, in accordance with Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60, and the other applicable conditions of such exemption are otherwise satisfied as of the date of acquisition of the Notes or interests therein and all such conditions will continue to be satisfied thereafter;

The Purchaser, if described in the preceding clauses, further represents and agrees that it is not sponsored (within the meaning of Section 3(16)(B) of ERISA) by the Issuer, DRC, the Seller, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Initial Purchaser, or by any affiliate of any such person.

The Purchaser acknowledges that, under the Indenture, Notes (or beneficial interests therein) may be purchased and transferred only in authorized denominations -- i.e., a minimum denomination of $100,000 and integral multiplies of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Purchaser covenants that the Purchaser will neither (i) transfer Notes (or beneficial interests therein) in less than the authorized denominations nor (ii) transfer Notes (or beneficial interests therein) where the result would be to reduce the Purchaser's remaining holdings of Notes (or beneficial interests therein) below the authorized denominations.

10. By execution hereof, the Purchaser agrees to be bound, as Noteholder, by all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Indenture and the Notes.

The representations and warranties contained herein shall be binding upon the heirs, executors, administrators and other successors of the undersigned.

COLLECTION POLICY

Collections and delinquencies are managed utilizing technology to minimize account delinquencies by promoting satisfactory customer relations. Servicer’s collection policy is designed to maximize cash flow into the organization and assist each Obligor with the management of his or her account while enjoying the vacation ownership experience. Technological capabilities include predictive dialer, integrated software modules, automated lock box processing, and automated credit card processing.

Servicer’s collection department manages loan delinquencies by both phone and mail contact with the Obligor initiated at 10 days from the time an Assigned Account becomes delinquent. At 30 days delinquent, Xxxxxxxx typically sends another letter advising the Obligor to bring the Assigned Account current while collection calls continue. Once the Assigned Account reaches 60 days delinquent, the Obligor is notified by mail that his/her loan balance has accelerated.

Summary of collection timeline:

10 Days Past Due A past due notice is generated and mailed.

Collection calls commence.


30 Days Past Due	A letter is sent advising that 2 payments are now due and payable within 7 days. Continue collection calls.


60 Days Past Due	A letter is sent advising the Obligor that the loan balance has been accelerated and that legal action will commence within 30 days if delinquency is not resolved.


90 Days Past Due	Account is transferred to loss mitigation for workout and/or recovery efforts.


90 - 180 Days Past Due	Telegram like letter is sent / Last chance. Deed in lieu of foreclosure or foreclosure process begins.


180 Days +	At 180 days past due a loan becomes a defaulted account. Default recovery process started on all accounts on or before it reaches 180 days past due.


270 Days Past Due	Default recovery completion date.

Please note that consumer bankruptcies, loans that fall under the soldiers and sailors act, hardship forbearances, and accounts needing legal research are exceptions to the timeline in the above table.
